Turn off your bright lights...

Anyone else got a Neil Diamond song in their heads now?

Anyway, prostitutes (or harlots, ass-peddlers, floosies, cock-eyed jennies, flatbackers, hobby horses, nightwalkers, window tappers, hip-flippers, nymphs du pave, kittock, sin-sisters, rumpers, goat-milkers, quan-dongs, paphians) in Antwerp complained about the bright lights along the Belgian port city's waterfront. They said it was 'putting off' potential customers.

"We had some remarks from the prostitutes that there was too much light, both for them and the clients," city council spokesman Jorn Verbeeck said. "We are investigating the possibility of lowering the light there."

Jorn, nice, understanding man that he is, is going to be testing a dimming system next week.
